Depressed little landlord

What those people said was indeed true. Not long after they left, Lin Xuan and the others had just set up the sacrifices when a gust of wind blew, and then it started to rain.

The housekeeper Hua and Xu Yang were in charge of spreading the paper money. When the wind came together, the round white papers were blown into the air, and the surrounding area was filled in mid-air at once, and some were even taken to farther places. .

Lin Xuan didn't care about these things, and knelt respectfully in front of the tomb with both hands holding incense, and kowtowed three times, Xiao Lin Xun did the same, even his little face was tense, and he didn't cry this time.

In fact, since the day before yesterday, except for the time I came to see him when he woke up and the few times when I looked for him and cried a few times, he really didn't cry much, and I don't know if he really understands these meanings.

Looking at his silent little face, Lin Xuan raised his hand to stroke his head lovingly, attracting Xiaodouding's suspicious eyes.

Lin Xuan smiled at him, but thought that the current occasion was not suitable, so he put it away again, and at the same time withdrew his hand, and took the incense in his hand by the way, and inserted it into the soil in front of the monument together, and then He took the small jug on one side and poured some wine into the three glasses one by one.

It was just a little bit of drizzle, but unexpectedly, it turned into a swarm of rain. The hair and face also began to become moist, and the wind began to cool down.

Lin Xuan's lips were a little white, looking closely, they were slightly blue and cold.

But his hand holding the cup was still very steady, "Father and mother, I hope you all know that my son will take good care of my brother and grow up to be an adult, and I won't let you down. I hope you two will bless you all in good health and safety. Let's go!"

The clear wine was sprinkled into the soil little by little, and Lin Xuan respectfully kowtowed three times again, and then got up with Lin Xun, intending to go back.

As those villagers said, the temperature dropped and it was raining again, so it was better to go back earlier, so as not to catch a cold and get sick. Regardless of whether the medical skills of this era are good or not, it will cost a lot of money just to see a doctor and get medicine.

"Xun'er, Grandpa Hua, Xu Yang, let's go back and let parents rest in peace."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that his complexion was even worse, Steward Hua was secretly worried, and was worried that he would stay for a long time, and was thinking about how to persuade him to go back. Unexpectedly, the young master would speak first, so he hurriedly agreed. Pick up your things with a basket.

"Young master, let me recite it. You must be careful yourself, the road is slippery when it rains."

"OK, all right."

Xiao Linxun listened to Xu Yang's words, and saw his brother's pale face, so he didn't refuse Xu Yang's words, and climbed up on his generous back, trying his best to wrap his short hands around his neck. It's a pity that Xu Yang wasn't like him. Like my brother, his arms couldn't hold each other together, so he just let go in the end, and it felt safe to lie on it anyway.

The four of them drove the donkey cart back to the village in the drizzle. At this time, the sky was a little dark because of the rain, and it looked like it was going to be dark.

When we returned to the previous abandoned hut, we didn't find Xiaoju and the donkey cart, but the butler Hua didn't seem nervous, maybe he was taken to the next door when he saw the rain.

Sure enough, before they stopped, they saw a figure appearing obliquely above, waving at them and saying hello: "Here, go to my house first to take shelter from the rain."

The thatched hut hadn't been tidied up yet, so it was obvious that they could only go to someone else's house temporarily to avoid the rain, so Lin Xuan and the others didn't refuse, and walked up a few steps to the man's courtyard, where they saw Xiaoju was already waiting under the eaves Seeing their figures, they rushed out regardless of the rain.

"Master, you are back."

The housekeeper Hua saw that her face was also a little pale, obviously because of the cold wind blowing for a long time, so he said reproachfully: "Xiaoju, why don't you stay indoors, it's so cold outside, what if you are sick?"

"Ah, Xiaoju didn't think of this, I won't do it next time, I'm sorry young master." Xiaoju obviously thought that if she was sick, wouldn't it be a waste of money?So he apologized nervously, and hurriedly assured that he was in good health and would not get sick, as if he was afraid that he would cause trouble to the young masters and be driven away immediately.

Seeing that she was so anxious that she almost cried, Lin Xuan had no intention of blaming her, so she said, "Okay, let's go into the house, the rain is getting heavier and heavier."

Seeing what he said, the others naturally wouldn't object. At this time, Granny Li also came out and asked them to come in. Xu Yang handed Lin Xun to Lin Xuan, and he wanted to take the donkey cart to another place to shelter from the rain. The donkey put in a lot of effort, so don't let it just soak in the rain. If something goes wrong, he will be very distressed.

These two beasts are very valuable to them now.

Just as Xu Yang was about to take the donkey away, another man came out. He should be about the same age as him, but his skin color was much darker than his because he often did farm work.

"Let me take it to the shed, big brother go back to the house and drink some hot water to get rid of the cold." Xu Shi saw that Xu Yang didn't move, and the man didn't look unhappy, instead he said with a smile, "My name is Zhuzi. My mother has already prepared something to eat. I'll wait for you to come back and eat it. Don't worry, I won't let your animals get lost."

Hearing this, Xu Yang let go of his hand and let the man who called himself Zhuzhu take over the donkey's rope and lead it to the next door. Only then did he realize that there was actually a dilapidated shed over there, in which was the gray donkey from their house. When the companion came back, he yelled twice excitedly, and then continued to eat grass with his head down.

Seeing this, Xu Yang stopped looking, turned around and entered the house.Seeing him coming in, Granny Li helped him to serve him a bowl of hot corn dregs porridge. Although the dregs porridge was actually just a little bit in it, it was basically soup, but Xu Yang naturally took it over and greeted him. I said thank you and drank it.

Except for Xiao Lin Xun who was drinking the soup little by little, everyone in the room drank very quickly. Lin Xuan felt much more comfortable and warmed up after drinking a bowl of hot soup.

Seeing that Grandma was about to take his bowl and continue filling, he hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Grandma, I've had enough, thank you for your hospitality."

"Master Lin is being too polite. Grandma is afraid that such things will not be treated properly."

"How come? This is good. It's not easy for everyone. We also want to thank you. How did we get here? We don't understand anything." I mean it, but I saw it by accident before, there is probably nothing in that pot, except soup.

Thinking of those uncles who came to help before, and the old grandmother in front of him, Lin Xuan felt really uncomfortable.

Although he hasn't had time to look around the village, but seeing the faces of the villagers and the two houses he has seen so far, he basically knows the general situation of the village.So, when he saw the bowl of dregs water porridge brought in front of him, he stretched out his hand to take it with a normal expression, and ate it all without frowning.

Fortunately, what made him even more gratified was that Xiao Douding didn't seem to dislike it at all, but maybe the temperature might be too hot for him, so he drank a little slowly, but he still insisted on eating half of it.

"Are you full?" The rough porcelain bowl is very big, and eating too much at once will make you feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Douding nodded, "I'm full." He looked at his brother, then turned to look at Granny Li over there, hesitated for a moment before whispering to him, "Thank you, Granny."

Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Granny Li smiled and narrowed her eyes with joy. She is obviously a mother-in-law who loves children, "Hey, as long as the baby likes it, next time mother-in-law will do it for you."

At this time, the man who had gone to house the donkey came back. As soon as he entered the door, everyone found that his clothes and hair were covered with water droplets, and then realized that it might be raining harder outside.

"You kid went out in the rain again?"

Zhu Zi smiled and said to her: "Mother, I went to cut some grass and came back. The previous ones were not enough for the donkey to eat. It's not a problem. I'm strong."

Granny Li sighed helplessly, and gave him a cloth towel to wipe off the rain on his body.

"Thank you very much." Xu Yang said beside him.

Zhuzi smiled while wiping his head, "It's nothing, just a while. But the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it's probably too late for your house to be repaired. If you don't mind my house, you can stay at my house today and wait until tomorrow." If the rain stops, I'll help you fix your house again."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan and Xu Yang, the housekeeper of the flowers, glanced at each other and agreed. It is indeed too late to fix it at this time, and they still don't know how damaged the thatched hut is, so they should listen to the local Let's talk about it.

"That's disturbing."

"What's the matter? It's rare that so many people come to the house. My mother and I are too happy."

In the end, Lin Xuan and the others still stayed at Granny Li's house. Fortunately, they brought a few beddings from home, which could be used as floor coverings, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough beds.

It's just that in the end Zhuzi's original bed was also given up to the Lin brothers, and he himself shared the floor with Xu Yang and Butler Hua.

In fact, it's not really a bed, it's just two pieces of wood put together, but it's better than sleeping on the floor, right?
